Paul Gulacy's run in Master of Kung Fu. I was a 70s Marvel fan and his work was significantly different than anyone else. That said, when I look at old comics now, the artist who's work pops out at me is Gil Kane. When I come across some reprinted version of something I read when I was 8--or whatever--his work seems to to trigger memories more than anyone's.

I stopped reading when I was a teen. When I came back in my 20s, I didn't read a lot of superheroes and creators were much more important.

Maybe it's in my mom's attic...like most of my stuff from the old bedroom. But I was so impressed that I've kept my Gerard Jones' JLI & JLA comics with me every time I move. Yeah, I know, his was probably the LEAST favorite Justice League run but I enjoyed it for it's quirkiness, diversity, use of 3rd tier characters and adult themes.

I really cannot truly recall, it's been so long ago now.

I can only guess it was either with Mike Grell or John Byrne back in the 70s are artists... or Neal Adams and Jack Kirby... Jim Starlin... I know I can say it was the artists first that caught my notice and then later the writers. With writers though, they proved to be far more a disappointment with time then with the artists. With artists, you pretty much got their work, unless embellished by certain others whom were notorious with mechanical erasers or heavy ink work. With writers it was seeing their name misapplied to the credits as someone else, ofter the artist, who really came up with the plot.

Writers truly came more to my attention and affected my buying with the 80s. For some it was avoidance. Others it was an attractor. These days, both names of artist and writer can peak my interest or desire for a series or GN.

Just a note, as kid in the 70s and all those reprints... it was hard to take notice of who was doing the work you enjoyed. Not all were being credited at all and yes, that included work during the 70s. Sad.
